"Sentiment Drowning Flower? Alright! " Garden Owner Xue nodded. Then, with an awkward expression, she said, "I only have one middle-tier spirit stone here..."
She did have a few stalks of Sentiment Drowning Flower in her herb garden, and the oldest one was already seven hundred years old. However... even as a Transcendent Mortal 4-dan pinnacle expert, she only had a single middle-tier spirit stone.
Only the Miryu Empire had the right to circulate spirit stones of this tier. The League of Nations only had low-tier spirit stones, and even the royal family didn't have many of them, needless to say, Garden Owner Xue.
"You only have one? Just one is fine too! "Zhang Xuan nodded.
The reason why he wanted the Sentiment Drowning Flower was to nurture the Soulrouse Grass, but the same couldn't be said for a middle-tier spirit stone.
In order to nurture the spirit of a weak plant swiftly, the pure spiritual energy of a middle-tier spirit stone was indispensable. If one were to rely solely on a low-tier spirit stone, it would take a very long time.
"I'll prepare it right now!" Garden Owner Xue hurriedly left.
Not too long later, she returned.
Without several months of effort, it would be nigh impossible to gather all of the herbs that Zhang Xuan had requested. However, as the number one herb garden in Myriad Kingdom City, all of the required medicinal herbs were present in the garden. Thus, it wasn't difficult for Zhang Xuan to gather them all.
In fact, she even managed to gather a seedling of the Earth Vein Spirit Vine.
"I require absolute peace during my treatment. Garden Owner Xue, please bring everyone out!"
Seeing that everything was prepared, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
Grafting spirit required the means of a soul oracle. Even though this occupation had long been lost in history, and not many people would be able to recognize it, it was best to be careful.
"Yes!"
Garden Owner Xue also knew that there were many unique means that experts weren't willing to display to others. Thus, she nodded her head and led everyone out of the herb garden.
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the spirit vine seedling before him, he drew his soul out and began his treatment.
...
"Why isn't Zhang Shi out yet? Do you think that he'll be able to buy the Sentiment Drowning Flower? "
In the lounge, Zhao Feiwu and Jin Conghai paced back and forth, glancing outside from time to time.
Only herbologists and master teachers were allowed to enter the herb field. As followers, they were unable to enter, so they could only wait here.
Who knew that he would wait for four to six hours? The sky was already dark, but he still hadn't come out. His heart was filled with anxiety.
"It should be possible... He is Zhang Shi!" Jin Conghai hesitated for a moment before replying.
Ever since he got to know this young man, no matter what it was, as long as he wanted to do it, he would be able to accomplish it easily. It made people wonder if there was anything this guy didn't know how to do.
"I know of Zhang Shi's capability, but... I've long heard of Garden Owner Xue's eccentric personality. She doesn't even give face to my father, and now that something has happened to the Earth Vein Spirit Vine, she must be even more anxious than before. It won't be easy for him to buy medicine from her at this moment. I fear that... if Zhang Shi were to speak up, not only would the other party reject him, she might even chase him out!"
Even though she was impressed by Zhang Shi's capability, Zhao Feiwu was still a little worried.
This Garden Owner Xue was a person who didn't even think much of his father, the alliance head of the Myriad Kingdom Alliance. If she was in a good mood, she might still be able to buy it after paying a sufficient price. But now... the Earth Vein Spirit Vine's mood had sunk to the bottom of the abyss, and the difficulty of buying it would be several times greater than before.
She was afraid that the other party would chase Zhang Shi out before he could even say a word.
It wasn't as if such a thing had never happened before.
That was how the envoy from the Alliance Head Residence was chased out.
"This... might really be possible..."
Jin Conghai was taken aback, and a worried expression appeared on his face.
"From the looks of it, Zhang Shi seems to be determined to get the Sentiment Drowning Flower. If it comes down to it, I should ask my father for help. If he does it, Garden Owner Xue... probably won't reject him!"
After waiting for a while longer, Zhao Feiwu couldn't help but say.
At the end of her words, even she wasn't too confident.
If her father's face was of any use, the envoy wouldn't have been chased out back then.
Garden Owner Xue was confident in her strength, so even though Zhao Feiwu was a resourceful person, she still felt a headache coming on.
Before absolute strength, all schemes were useless.
"That's the only way... Look, someone is coming!" Jin Conghai nodded his head. Unable to think of any good ideas, he was just about to continue speaking when he suddenly froze and pointed forward.
Outside the lounge, a figure was walking over.
"It's Zhang Shi..."
It was Zhang Xuan, who had walked in previously.
"There's no need to think too much about it, he must have been chased out..."
Seeing the other party appear alone, Zhao Feiwu smiled bitterly and hurried forward with Jin Conghai.
"Zhang Shi, you're out. It's fine if you didn't manage to buy the Sentiment Drowning Flower. I'll report this matter to my father and have him buy it for you..."
Walking forward, Zhao Feiwu saw that the young man's face was pale and listless. He must have been humiliated, so she hurriedly consoled him.
"Indeed! Garden Owner Xue has always been known for her eccentric personality. Don't be angry at her... "Jin Conghai hurriedly added.
"Ah?"
As soon as he returned, before he could even say a word, he was consoled by the duo. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Zhang Xuan was just about to explain when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
Garden Owner Xue and the others hurriedly walked over.
"What are you all doing?" Seeing the anxious faces of these people, Jin Conghai hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Xuan and the princess.
"Zhang Shi, here are a hundred stalks of five-hundred-year-old medicinal herbs. It's a small token of my appreciation. Furthermore, from today onward, my Western Herb Garden will be your eternal friend. As long as Zhang Shi needs it, feel free to speak. I'll provide any medicinal herbs that I have here for free! "
Ignoring the anxious Jin Conghai, Garden Owner Xue walked up to Zhang Xuan and bowed deeply before passing a storage ring over.
"Eternal friend?"
"Provide it for free?"
Seeing the eccentric Garden Owner Xue, who didn't even give face to the Alliance Head Residence, bow to Zhang Xuan and offer medicinal herbs, Zhao Feiwu and Jin Conghai widened their eyes in shock.
What in the world was going on...
Wasn't this fellow supposed to be impervious to everything? Why … did he suddenly bow to me like a student and even give me medicine?
"Compared to Zhang Shi, our herbology skills are pitifully weak!"
"It's all thanks to Zhang Shi. Otherwise, there would be no hope for the Earth Vein Spirit Vine to be revived!"
Just as they were perplexed over what was going on, they heard the commotion of the crowd.
"Zhang Shi... treated the Earth Vein Spirit Vine?"
Coming to a realization, the duo stared at one another in frenzy.
They had heard the conversation between Zhang Shi and Lu Zhan. A fellow who didn't even know what a herbologist was actually able to treat an Earth Vein Spirit Vine which herbologist clans were unable to treat...
Why did they feel that this matter was so unreliable?
...
"Zhang Shi, not only did he buy the Sentiment Drowning Flower, he even had Garden Owner Xue bring it out of the herb garden personally and even promised to provide all medicinal herbs for free... On top of that, he even treated the Earth Vein Spirit Vine?"
In the Alliance Head Residence, Alliance Head Zhao widened his eyes in shock as he listened to his daughter and Jin Conghai's report...
...
Sitting cross-legged in the room, Zhang Xuan stared at the crimson flower before him.
A fresh seven-hundred-year-old Sentiment Drowning Flower!
With sufficient medicinal herbs and the means of a soul oracle, it wasn't too difficult to treat the Earth Vein Spirit Vine. Through grafting, the vine regained its spirit, and Garden Owner Xue was extremely grateful to Zhang Xuan.
The main purpose of his trip to the herb garden was to obtain the Sentiment Drowning Flower. With the Sentiment Drowning Flower in hand, Zhang Xuan immediately brought Zhao Feiwu and Jin Conghai back to the residence prepared for him.
It wasn't a large residence, but it was located very close to the Alliance Head Residence. Guards, attendants, and maids were readily available, saving Sun Qiang the trouble of searching for them.
After settling the Demon Cinque Beast down, Zhang Xuan headed straight to his room and took out the medicinal herb.
"Drawing my soul out of my body!"
With a thought, a clear soul gushed out from Zhang Xuan's acupoint. With a wave of his hand, the flower in front of his physical body flew over to him.
"Soulrouse Grass is a formation inscribed on a plant that contains the imprint of a soul... Then, using one's soul as the source of energy, one can swiftly grow it..."
After going through the cultivation method of the Soulrouse Grass in his head, Zhang Xuan's eyes fell on the flower before him.
Even though the Sentiment Drowning Flower was a spirit herb, it didn't possess its own spirit. As such, it could easily contain the soul energy of a soul oracle.
Otherwise, if a spirit herb were to come into contact with it, other souls would immediately dissipate, thus losing the effect of awakening one's soul.
Hu!
Driving his soul energy, a powerful force wrapped around the flower, and its appearance and form began changing.
After cultivating the Heaven's Path Soul Art, Zhang Xuan's soul energy had already reached Transcendent Mortal 2-dan pinnacle. Even though it wasn't easy to cultivate the Soulrouse Grass, given his current soul energy, he was still able to do it easily.
For the next three days, Zhang Xuan remained in his residence.
Finally, on the fourth day, 'weng!', the crimson flower before him shook lightly and turned into a white sapling.
The cultivation of the Soulrouse Grass was a success!
"If I nourish it with my soul energy every day, it should mature within a month or two!"
Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
Even though he had successfully cultivated the Sentiment Drowning Flower into a Soulrouse Grass, it was still a sapling at the moment. Even so, there was no rush. At the very most, it should mature within a month or two.
By then, he should be able to craft a Soulrouse Incense to save Lu Chong.
Spending the past three days in his residence using his soul energy had left him feeling fatigued.
Returning his soul to his body, Zhang Xuan took out the middle-tier spirit stone he had obtained from Song Chao and absorbed it for a moment to recover before walking out of his room.
The sun shone brightly outside. Before Zhang Xuan could step into the courtyard, he saw Sun Qiang walking over.
"Young master, Su shi and Ling shi are here. They wish to meet you."
Su shi, Su Fan, and Ling shi, Ling Yuheng were the two 4-star master teachers who had invited him to the Master Teacher Tournament in Tianwu Kingdom.
"How did they know that I'm here?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head.
After arriving at Myriad Kingdom City, not only did he not conceal his tracks, he even went to the Western Herb Garden to resolve the problem of the Earth Vein Spirit Vine. As a powerful existence, it wasn't surprising for Mingshi Tang to find out about it.
Previously, Zhang Xuan had said that he would look for them as soon as he arrived at Myriad Kingdom City. Since he hadn't visited Mingshi Tang in the past few days, he couldn't wait any longer and came looking for him.
"Let's go and take a look!"
After figuring out what was going on, Zhang Xuan began making his way to the living room without saying a word.
